Kim Shin-Jo


Kim Shin-Jo is one of two survivors of the 31-person team of North Korean commandos sent to assassinate the then president of South Korea, Park Chung Hee, in the 'Blue House Raid' in January 1968.

The only other survivor, Park Jae-kyung, made it back to the North, but Kim Shin-Jo was captured by South Korean forces. He was interrogated for a year by the South Korean authorities before being released. After he became a citizen of South Korea in 1970, his parents were executed and his relatives purged by North Korean authorities.

Kim later became a pastor at Sungrak Sambong church in Gyeonggi-do. He has a wife and two children.
